1.1 General description

A buffer PSU is intended for an uninterrupted supply to alarm system devices requiring stabilized voltage of

12V/DC (+/-15%). A linear stabilizing system, which has been used in the unit, provides voltage with a lower level

of noise and a quicker response to interference when compared to a switched-mode regulator. During buffer

operation, he PSU provides voltage of Uout = 12,8V ÷ 13,8V DC, with current capacity:

1. Output current 3A (without a battery)

2. Output current 2,6A + 0,4A battery charge

3. Output current 2,1A + 0,9A battery charge

Total current of the receivers + battery: 3 max.

1.2 Principle of operation.

AWZ 333 is a stabilized transformer PSU with high factor of voltage stabilization. Mains supply ~230V is

reduced by a transformer and then rectified by the system of rectifiers and a low pass filter. DC output voltage is

gained in the linear regulator and it is adjusted according to the PSU operation type (charging phase and battery

maintenance). In case of power decay, a battery back-up is activated instantaneously. During battery-assisted

operation the PSU controls the battery voltage when it reaches 10 V. The electrical system disconnects the battery

and protects it from damage. After restoration of the ~230V mains supply, the PSU automatically charges up and

preserves the battery.

PSU operating status is indicated by LEDs on the faceplate.

 red LED – failure indication (additionally, failure state can be indicated by acoustic indicator)

 green LED – AC/DC supply indication

Remote control of the PSU is by means of three technical outputs:

 BS – main supply status control

 AW - failure status control

 TAMPER – unwanted enclosure opening control

2. Installation

2.1 Requirements

The buffer PSU is to be mounted by a qualified installer, holding relevant permits and licenses (applicable

and required for a given country) for 230V/AC interference and low-voltage installations. The unit should be

mounted in confined spaces, in accordance with the 1st environmental class, with normal relative humidity

(RH=90% maximum, without condensing) and temperature from +5°C to +40°C. The PSU shall work in a vertical

position that guarantees sufficient convectional air-flow through ventilating holes of the enclosure.

1. Output current 3A (without a battery)

2. Output current 2,6A + 0,4A battery charge

3. Output current 2,1A + 0,9A battery charge

Total current of the receivers + battery: 3 max.

As the PSU is designed for a continuous operation and is not equipped with a power-switch, therefore an

appropriate overload protection shall be guaranteed in the power supply circuit. Moreover, the user shall be

informed about the method of unplugging (usually through assigning an appropriate fuse in the fuse-box). The

electrical system shall follow valid standards and regulations..

2.2 Installation procedure

Before installation, make sure that the voltage in the 230V power-supply circuit is cut off.

1. Mount the PSU in a selected location and connect the wires.

2. Remove the line fuse that protects the primal circuit of the transformer.

3. Connect the power cables (~230V) to AC 230V clips of the transformer. Connect the ground wire to the clip

marked by the earth symbol PE. Use a three-core cable (with a yellow and green PE protection wire) to make the

connection. Lead the cables to the appropriate clips of the subplate through the insulating bushing.

The shock protection circuit shall be performed with a particular care, i.e. the yellow and

green wire coat of the power cable shall stick to one side of the ‘PE’ terminal - in the PSU

enclosure. Operation of the PSU without a properly made and fully operational shock

protection circuit is UNACCEPTABLE! It can cause a device failure or an electric shock.

4. Connect the receivers’ cables to the +AUX, -AUX connectors of the terminal block on the PSU board.

5. If necessary, connect the device (alarm panel, controller, indicator, etc.) conductors to the technical outputs:

- BS output - indicates 230V power failure

During normal PSU operation, the BS technical output is cut from ground (-AUX). In case lf 230V AC power outage,

it is connected to ground (-AUX) after a time set by Z1, Z2 pins.

- AW output indicating failure

www.pulsar.pl AWZ333 GREY POWER plus

During normal PSU operation, the AW technical output is connected to ground. If a failure occurs, the output is cut

from ground.

6. During battery-assisted operation, it is possible to determine time necessary for battery disconnection by the

Z3, Z4 pins when the voltage at its terminals drops below 10V.

7. On the CHARGE pins, determine the battery charging current:

Ibat = 0,4 A max. – jumper on

Ibat = 0,9 A max. – jumper off (unacceptable for: AWZ110, AWZ224).

8. Restore the 230V AC power and plug the line fuse protecting the primal circuit of the transformer.

Check the LED indication for PSU power status.

Output voltage of the PSU, without load: U = 13,8V DC.

During battery charge, voltage can amount to U = 11 V÷13,8V DC

9. Connect the battery in accordance with the markings:“+” red, „-„ black)

Mount the battery with a 700x 8mm clamp, following the procedure according to Fig. 5

- put the battery into the enclosure

- lead the clamp through the left A hole

- lead the clamp over the up side of the battery

- lead the clamp through the B hole

- lead the end of the clamp into the terminal hole

- pull the clamp with force of 150N-200N

- cut the jutting piece of the tape

10. With the STOP button, initiate or finish a dynamic battery test.

Deactivating the test turns out the PSU failure indication at the AW output, but it does not affect the protection

system against complete battery discharge.

11. Run the PSU test: check the LED and acoustic indication (Tab. 7), AW technical output; through:

- cutting off the 230V AC current: LED and acoustic indications – immediately; the BS technical output –

after some time, determined by Z1, Z2 pins.

- battery disconnection: LED indication, acoustic indication and the AW technical output – after a battery

test have been completed (approx. 10 min.)

12. With the STOP button, initiate or finish a dynamic battery test.

13. With the ZB pins, decide whether the acoustic indication stall be on (jumper on), or off (jumper off)

14. Once the tests and operation control have been completed, the enclosure can be locked.

3.3 Technical outputs.

The PSU is equipped with two independent indication outputs, OC type (open collector). They enable

transmitting the information about no AC power status and system faults.

Fig. 6. Electrical diagram of OC outputs.

 AW – failure output: an OC type output indicating a PSU failure. In normal state (during correct operation)

the output connected to the ground, in case of the failure – disconnected.

 BS - absence of AC supply output: - OC type output that indicates absence of 230V AC supply. In

normal status, with 230V AC supply, the output is open. In case of power loss, the PSU will switch the

output after a time period set by the Z1, Z2

jumpers (Fig. 7).

Fig. 7. Configuration of the jumpers.

4. Operation and use.

4.1 Launching the PSU from a battery

Battery-assisted operating time depends on: the battery capacity, charging level and load current. For

instance, for a typical, fully-charged 17Ah battery and load current of 3A, the maximum safe working time amounts

to approx. 4h 30 min.

 Launching the PSU from a battery: push the START button on the device’s board and hold for 5 seconds

 Finishing the battery-assisted operation: push the STOP button on the device’s board and hold for

2 seconds. The PSU will disconnect the output after 10 seconds.

4.2 Disconnection of a discharged battery.

The PSU is equipped with the discharged battery disconnection system and discharged battery indication.

During the battery-assisted operation, reducing voltage below ~10V at the battery terminals will trigger a countdown

to the battery disconnection. The disconnection time period is Z3, Z4 jumper selectable. (Fig.8)

Fig. 8. Configuration of the jumpers.

4.3 Dynamic battery test

The PSU runs a battery test every 10 minutes. It is done by a momentary output voltage reduction and

voltage measurement at the battery terminals. A failure is indicated when voltage drops below ~12,2V. The battery

test facility can be switched off if, for instance, the battery is not connected to the PSU.

Deactivating/activating the test: while mains supply, press the STOP button on the main board and hold it for 3

seconds. The device will confirm the activation/deactivation in the following ways: (Tab.8.)

 testing off – 12 sounds

 testing on – 3 sounds

www.pulsar.pl AWZ333 GREY POWER plus

Caution:

 test activation/deactivation is stored in the memory even after unplugging of the device

 test deactivation turns off the fault indication at the AW output. It does not affect the

battery complete discharge system, though.

4.4 Battery charging current limitation

The PSU has a system that automatically limits the battery charging current:

 Ibat = 0,4A max. – the CHARGE jumper on

 Ibat = 0,9A max. – the CHARGE jumper off

4.5 Battery-assisted operation – standby time

To keep the standby time, the current drawn from the PSU during batter-assisted operation should be

limited.

- for grade 1 (12h) current Id=1,4A

4.6 PSU overload

The PSU is equipped with an output protection due to a PTC polymer fuse. If the load of the PSU exceeds

Izn (110% ÷ 150%), the output voltage is automatically cut off and indicated by the FAILURE red diode (Tab. 7).

The load shall be disconnected from the PSU output for approximately 1 minute.

5. Maintenance

Any and all maintenance operations may be performed following the disconnection of the PSU from the

power supply network. The PSU does not require performing any specific maintenance measures, however, in the

case of significant dust rate, its interior is recommended to be cleaned with compressed air. In the case of a fuse

replacement, use a replacement of the same parameters.
